00:00This is how it ended.
00:02One of the most wanted men in Britain bundled into a police van on the third day of this manhunt.
00:10A member of the public had spotted sex offender Hadash Kabartou close to this bus stop in Finsbury Park, North London.
00:18They then alerted the police.
00:21Officers found him in the park, no longer in his grey prison tracksuit.
00:25They had him in handcuffs 16 minutes after the tip-off.
00:30There was no fuss, there was no aggravation there at all.
00:34He seemed very calm, willing to accept that he'd been re-arrested.
00:38With Kabartou now back in custody, they will try again to deport him to Ethiopia.
00:44There is an investigation ongoing into this embarrassing episode
00:47and the Prime Minister has promised that it will never be allowed to happen again.
00:52He was released by mistake from Chelmsford Prison on Friday.
00:56A witness told us he was confused and asking people for help.
01:01Eventually, he was directed to the train station by a member of prison staff.
01:06He went to East London.
01:08On Friday evening, he was in Dalston Library, still in his prison tracksuit,
01:12with a bag covered in avocado prints.
01:14The police asked him to hand himself in,
01:18but it was the sighting from a member of the public that gave officers the breakthrough.
01:22The Justice Secretary, who has responsibility for prisons,
01:26met some of the police officers who had finally arrested Kabartou.
01:30He's now being held at Wormwood Scrubs in West London.
01:34Sky News understands the government plans to deport him this Tuesday.
01:38It's right that he's questioned by the police following his route from Essex into London
01:48and then, of course, 48 hours in which he has been basically around.
01:53It's right that we get to the bottom of what's happened over the course of those 48 hours,
01:57but I can assure you that he will be deported as he was expected to be deported.
02:01I expect that to happen this week.
02:03One member of staff has been suspended at Chelmsford Prison,
02:07but this case highlights a criminal justice system riddled with problems.
02:11I hope David Lammy, in all this chaos, starts holding people to account.
02:17Not the junior member of staff under the bus,
02:20but the people who are overall responsible for day-in, day-out catastrophic failures.
02:26The protests have continued in Epping,
02:29where Kabartou sexually assaulted a schoolgirl this summer.
02:33Her dad shared his thoughts via a local councillor.
02:37Myself and my family feel massively let down and infuriated by HMP Chelmsford,
02:43the police, the justice system and our Labour government.
02:47They have all failed.
02:49Not just us as a family, but they have failed everyone in the country.
02:52The anger over the UK's dysfunctional immigration system
02:57is simply intensified when things like this happen.
03:00Even if Kabartou is now deported to Ethiopia,
03:05it solves very little.
